About Me



we are making animals.we are building a creature.it has legs. it flails.it secretes self-doubt.it is self conscious and wants to be loved.it charges ahead blindly,leaves behind skin like a snake.
covering radiohead's "electioneering" with a guy stage diving

and debuting 2 new songs.. the first entitled "capitalist optimist", the other still untitled.
